Maybe you should get another opinion from another cardiologist.

What about slow pulse? Is that also a side effect? I know that my pulse has never been above 60 since I have been on Simenet; my pulse is usually in the mid-50s. Last month when I saw my general practitioner my pulse was 42 as taken by the nurse and 48 as taken by the doctor. My cardiologist was notified and he said what he always says: when you start passing out, we will get you a pacemaker. I don't pass out, get dizzy, etc. I do tend to have low blood pressure, and I did before taking the simenet. I take water exercise classes twice per week, but I don't have, and never have had, a strong conditioning program. What do you think? Is it a side effect? Is it something I should be concerned about? I see my neurologist/movement specialist on Wednesday. I am not sure, but I think that he was aware of my slow pulse in the past.
